The YouTube 'bombings'

I had an interview on Future Tense today with a tech writer who selected "viral video" as the technology having the most impact on the '08 campaign.

There's the other side of the coin, too, where video is concerned -- and by "video," of course, I mean You Tube.

Up in Superior, Wisconsin, three 13-year olds have been linked to a "series of small homemade bombs that had gone off around town over four days," according to the Duluth News Tribune.

They were inspired, the story says, by videos on YouTube.

They couldn't be "inspired" by algebra videos?

Here are a few more inspiring math You Tube videos, if anyone is interested.
